Not enough feeder cattle this week for a market comparison. Slaughter cows, slaughter bulls and feeding cows sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Cow/calf pairs sold steady. Demand was good for the short supply on offer. Dry conditions continue across most of the state and some ranchers are having to haul water for livestock. Ranchers are trying to procure enough hay until next spring, and most are having a hard time finding enough tonnage to buy. Quite a lot of hay continues to leave the state heading to new customers in Montana along with the regular customers in other states. Most hay producers across the region are going for “tonnage” instead of quality as they try to fill buyers needs.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Wyoming barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
